As the UK devotes more resources to widening renewable sources of energy generation, this seminar examined the opportunities for a range of different energy storage technologies to manage intermittent generation and to ensure a stable supply of energy across the network.
It followed publication of the National Infrastructure Commission’s Smart Power report that recommends that steps be taken to encourage network owners to increase usage of storage, and ahead of the joint Government and Ofgem review into its regulatory and legal status. Discussion drew on latest developments in research and innovation into prospective technologies, and looked at the funding and support required to get projects on the road to commercial viability, and at options for policy.
Sessions also examined the integration of small scale domestic storage as homes move ‘off grid’, as well as the growing number of electric vehicle charging stations, and the implications this will have on future demand and flexibility of the network.
